Healthy Zucchini Fritters

Quick and delicious zucchini fritters that are perfect for a summer treat or as an appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchinis, grated
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup oat flour (or almond flour)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or cottage cheese
  • 1 garlic clove, finely minced
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano or thyme
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or dill
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or olive oil spray for pan-frying

Instructions

  1. Grate the zucchini: Using a box grater, grate the zucchinis into a large bowl. Sprinkle with sea salt and let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Squeeze out the liquid: Transfer the grated zucchini into a towel and squeeze to remove excess moisture.
  3. Mix the wet ingredients: In a bowl, combine the eggs, Greek yogurt, garlic, and Parmesan (if using). Whisk together.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together oat flour, pepper, oregano, and any additional herbs.
  5. Combine everything: Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet zucchini mixture until just combined.
  6. Heat the pan: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  7. Cook the fritters: Scoop batter into the skillet, flatten slightly, and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  8. Serve and enjoy: Transfer fritters to a plate lined with paper towels and serve with your favorite sauce.

Notes

These fritters can be served with tzatziki or a squeeze of lemon. They are also versatile and can be modified with additional ingredients.
